Direct from their phenomenally successful Broadway engagement, the internationally-acclaimed Beatles concert, Experience the Beatles with RAIN, returns to the Providence Performing Arts Center for one night only: Sunday, April 21, at 8 p.m.

As “the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!” (Associated Press), RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles’ discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.

In addition, new songs are being included with the launch of the 2013 Tour. Together longer than The Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture, and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (“I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Hard Day’s Night,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together,” “Hey Jude,” and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends.

Experience The Beatles with RAIN has received rave reviews. The New York Times said, “The audience is enraptured. They get a chance to sing along, twist, and shout!” and Entertainment Weekly said, “Just turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream for a quick fix of nostalgic cheer!” The Boston Herald proclaimed, “Uncanny! RAIN are a quartet of fine musicians in their own right…as The Beatles, they triumph!”

Tickets are $60 - $30, and are on sale now at the PPAC Box Office (220 Weybosset St. in downtown Providence), online at www.ppacri.org, and by phone at 401-421-ARTS (2787).
